How to create pdf using array values in php


Hello everybody i am new fpdf. I have multiple array values and create a table.

$array1=[1,2,3];
$array2=['apple', "ball", "cat"];

I want to create a table using this values

Numbers Animals
1       Apple
2       Ball
3       Cat

I have tried this way but all values are printing one by one

require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);

for ($i=0; $i < count($array1); $i++) { 
    [$pdf->MultiCell(30,12,$array1[$i],1), $pdf->MultiCell(30,12,$array2[$i],1)];
    }
$pdf->Output();

Can anyone suggestion me how this problem. Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • $pdf = new FPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
    
    $array1= array(1,2,3);
    $array2= array('apple', "ball", "cat");
    
    $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Numbers');
    $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Animals');
    $pdf->Ln(10);
    foreach($array1 as $key=>$row){
        $pdf->Cell(40,10,$row);
        $pdf->Cell(40,10,$array2[$key]);
        $pdf->Ln(10);
    }
    $pdf->Output();
    

    As FPDF examples you can uses Cell() for display values. And For the Line breaks use Ln(). I assume both $array1 and array2 have similar number of elements. First two Cells use to display headings, then inside the loop display both values.
